We stopped by the boatyard a couple of times last week while down in Diggs, Va visiting John's sister. Things are moving along on the inside of the boat while it is inside the shed and out of the weather. A new issue came up during the work. It turns out that the CruiseAir unit in the back of the boat that services only the aft berth is the bigger of the two units. Paul has an idea how to run a supply duct to the main salon at the base of the nav station. That will help the unit run more efficiently as it needs to be pushing a higher volume of air and it will help cool the galley area. Paul is also going to work out channeling more of the air from the return duct to the unit so that it does not pull it from the aft lazarette. The forward unit return air flow is around the drawers under the berth...not really a direct and sufficient return. Paul suggested converting one of the drawers to a return duct and we reluctantly agreed that seemed to be something we should do (don't like giving up the storage).
The first day we stopped by, Paul had the spreaders ready for painting and the next day we saw the completed job.

| Here is the piece that was removed from the end of the boom. |
The bilge has been cleaned. You can see where the washers worked their way down into the bilge material.
This is the cleaned off surface of the keel stub on the hull.
The top of the keel and keel bolts have also been cleaned...I don't have photos of that.
